Creating, applying, editing, and removing custom view filters
Many tables in OpsCenter let you display a subset of the information available by creating and using custom filters, or by using the predefined (ready-to-use) filters. A filter screens information that is based on a set of conditions that you define. Once you create a filter, you can save it, edit it, or remove it.
In the views that allow filtering, filtering icons appear above the table.
The following procedures describe how you can create, apply, edit, or remove a filter.
- Select the Create Filter icon.
- Type a name for the filter in the Name field.
- For Column, select the column name that you want to filter on from the drop-down list.
For Operator, select an operator. Use != if you do not want to match a specific value.
For Value, enter or select a value.
If you select Start Time or End Time for Column, a calendar icon appears for Value. Click the calendar icon to choose a date and time and then click OK.
- From the drop-down list, select And or Or to build the filter query.
For Link, click Add to add another clause to the query. If the clause is not what you want, click Remove to remove the clause from the query.
- To continue building the filter, select another column.
- Click OK when you finish building the filter. Your new filter is available in the filter drop-down list.
- From the drop-down list, select a custom filter or a OpsCenter built-in filter.
OpsCenter filters the table according to the criteria you specify. The view remains in effect until you change it by selecting another filter.

- From the drop-down list, select a custom filter.
